Everybody has enjoyed the pleasant
weather of the past week. Clouds gath
cred in the heavens during the afternoon,
but by morning the sunshine burst forth
in all its brilliancy, and because of the
clear air the range Of vision was greatly
increased. Only on Sunday was the wind
so severe as to be uncomfortable, and
then it afforded good excuse to remain

mirage brought to view first one and then
another distant object. Our neighbor-

and apparently but few rods beyond it
was Buffalo Park, while to the east por-
ton of Wa-Keeney was visible, with q
miraage-formed lake lying peacefully at
its west.

man. Mr.. Arnold has not fully decided
what he will do, but his friends are urg-
ing him to remain here, and enter bust
ness for himself.
